Lake Nona’s Tavistock Development Company has announced that multinational aviation company, BBA Aviation/Signature Flight Support plans to move its new, 65,000-square-foot, six-story, Class A office building, to the Nonahood.
The headquarters will be located in the rapidly developing Lake Nona Town Center, where PCL Construction plans to break ground this fall on the building at the southwest corner of Veteran’s Way and Lake Nona Boulevard. The building is expected to be completed in late 2018.
The original location for BBA Aviation/Signature Flight Support’s headquarters has been Downtown Orlando for the past twenty-five years, but they are ready to expand into the prime territory of the Lake Nona area; with our proximity to the Orlando International Airport and other world class businesses, it is a great fit.
“This state-of-the-art business and residential community offers endless benefits for our employees, and for the future of BBA Aviation/Signature Flight Support. We have designed a superior working environment for our team, where we will continue to drive our world class business forward, and we very much look forward to becoming part of the Lake Nona community” says Maria A. Sastre, President and Chief Operating Officer for Signature Flight Support.
BBA Aviation/Signature Flight Support’s new headquarters is designed by m+a architects, with the interior plans constructed by Little.
The facility will be LEED designed and will implement the latest innovations in climate control, natural light, collaborative spaces, ergonomic work stations and outdoor space. Occupancy for the location is expected in the first quarter of 2019.
“We are a significant employer in terms of highly technical jobs and positions” says Sastre, “It’s an opportunity for employment and further growth in Lake Nona.”
The Lake Nona Town Center has thus far opened and leased 75,000 square feet of class-A office, 16,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a dual branded Courtyard by Marriott and Residence Inn by Marriott hotel, and a multi-level parking structure.
“We have had the privilege over the last several years to work with some of the brightest minds in the world on dreaming, designing, and building, what is becoming one of the most collaborative, creative, and productive places to live and work in America” says Tavistock Group Senior Managing Director Rasesh Thakkar.
“To create the ideal place that inspires human potential through innovative collaboration, where we not only focus on the big picture, but also the thousands of nitty, gritty, details.”
The next $300 million phase of the town center will bring a big entertainment element to the community, which already boasts 12,000 residents and 5,000 employees in the Medical City life sciences hub. Tenants are expected to include a brewery, bowling alley and medically integrated fitness center in partnership with the University of Central Florida, though none have been formally announced yet.
Lake Nona remains the region’s fastest growing community.
